A. Rakesh the OEM and assembly plants are looking for 6 sigma level, which means 3.4 DPMOs (3.4 defects per million of opportunity to have a defect). Some tier 1 ask for 50 ppms for their tier 2. I hope so this help you. However is very important that you review the level of quality that your customer asks for.
